Understanding High-Salt and Cold Adaptation of a Polyextremophilic Enzyme [PDF]
Microorganisms, 2020 The haloarchaeon Halorubrum lacusprofundi is among the few polyextremophilic organisms capable of surviving in one of the most extreme aquatic environments on Earth, the Deep Lake of Antarctica (−18 °C to +11.5 °C and 21–28%, w/v salt content). Hence, H.

Comparative Genome Analysis of Three Halobacillus Strains Isolated From Saline Environments Reveal Potential Salt Tolerance and Algicidal Mechanisms. [PDF]
Environ Microbiol RepFollowing the previous complete genome analysis, this research provides the function of new Halobacillus species. Three strains were identified: Halobacillus shinanisalinarum sp. nov. SSTM10‐2T, Halobacillus salinarum sp. nov. SSBR10‐3T, and Halobacillus amylolyticus sp. nov. SSHM10‐5T.

Polyextremophile engineering: a review of organisms that push the limits of life. [PDF]
Front MicrobiolNature exhibits an enormous diversity of organisms that thrive in extreme environments. From snow algae that reproduce at sub-zero temperatures to radiotrophic fungi that thrive in nuclear radiation at Chernobyl, extreme organisms raise many questions about the limits of life. Is there any environment where life could not “find a way”?

Effects of Salinity and Temperature on the Flexibility and Function of a Polyextremophilic Enzyme
International Journal of Molecular Sciences, 2022 The polyextremophilic β-galactosidase enzyme of the haloarchaeon Halorubrum lacusprofundi functions in extremely cold and hypersaline conditions. To better understand the basis of polyextremophilic activity, the enzyme was studied using steady-state kinetics and molecular dynamics at temperatures ranging from 10 °C to 50 °C and salt concentrations from
